colorado. thanks for joining us tonight. i'm will thomas. >> i'm maureen umeh. we begin with the top story of the weekend, nation in mourning following friday's movie massacre. president obama traveled to the scene in aurora, colorado. >> new details are emerging about the gunman and the search of his apartment plus we try to understand what could have motivated the killings. >> the mass shootings in colorado killed 12 people and injured nearly 60 people, but tonight president obama traveled to aurora. he was supposed to be in colorado for two hours, but he was so caught up with talking with relatives, survivors and first responders that his visit lasted about four hours. audrey barnes is in the newsroom with more on his remarks. >> the last room that president obama visited at the hospital was 19-year-old allie youngs. her best friend stephanie davis was in there, too and the story of how 21-year-old stephanie saved her best friend crystalized the resilience of community and their will to

survive. president obama wasted no time reminding the nation about what it takes to overcome a tragedy like the one in aurora. he said it takes people like 21- year-old stephanie davies whose friend allie young was shot through the neck through a vein after standing up when the gunman threw the first canister. stephanie called 911 with one hand while keeping pressure on her friend's wound with the other. >> stephanie with the help of several others carries alliy across two parking lots to where the ambulance -- allie across two parking lot to where the ambulance was waiting and because of stephanie's timely actions i just had a conversation with allie downstairs and she's going to be fine. >> reporter: the president wants the focus to be on young people like allie and stephanie saying they represent the best in all of us. some of the attention, though, will also be on the suspect, at

least for now, james holmes. his encounter with a gun range owner last month was so disturbing that owner refused to let him join the range. >> usually if i call somebody and leave a message, they call me back immediately the same day. so by the time i call three times, he hasn't called me, it's like okay, i don't like this to begin with. leave it alone. >> reporter: there's also regret from an online tactical gear supplier who has learned that multiple shipments to homes helped him carry out histine -- holmes helped him carry out his sinister plot. >> that's actually one of the first things i thought of was i hope it wasn't an order that came through our sos. >> reporter: police chief dan oat says critical information -- dan oates says critical information has been recovered from the apartment. james holmes will make his first appearance in court tomorrow. audrey barnes, fox 5 news. three days later there's still so many questions

surrounding the tragedy. what could have motivated the suspect? as for the victims' families and survivors, the coping and grieving process is just beginning. forensic psychologist lisa van susteren is here. investigators scapples holmes, the suspected gunman, had no -- james holmes, the suspected gunman had no criminal history, came from a good neighbor, smart accident won a federal grant to -- smart, won a federal grant to study. on the surface this doesn't sound like a violent guy at all. >> no, it does not but now we're hearing some things that made him stand out as a little bit different. he was socially aqua. he never engaged in -- awkward. never engaged in some of the activities his fellow students engaged in but certainly nothing that would stand out. >> he bought his first gun two months ago and over the next several weeks he bought more guns and ammo. does that say anything about

his state of mind, part of a planning process to carry this out? >> well, sure and if also suggests that there was a rapid deterioration into this very savage place that he found himself. this is not a guy who had a long history of engaging in militaristic activity and guns and things like this. >> we heard law enforcement say, doctor, stopping a lone wolf is pretty much impossible because the clues are usually skitchy. what's your take? >> at this point when you've got a guy that is hell bent on his killing and is obviously psychotic, that really is too late. the only place to intervene would have to be, will, much further upstream where people can't get themselves into situations like this to begin with. >> he was a phd student in a neuroscience department at university of colorado and was in the process of withdrawing from the program. could a sense of say failure,

some sort of academic problem cause a person to just snap? >> i think it's much deeper than that and there's sort of a reciprocal relationship between the fact that he mailed may be due to the fact that he was dekoch -- failed may be due to the fact that he was decompensating, so it was probably a reciprocal effect on each other. >> so the victims, the families, the survivors, really the community of aurora, it's all about trying to cope with the loss now, how to make sense of this, right? >> that's really going to be tough, will. obviously some people are going to suffer the consequences of this for the rest of their lives. some will resurface. obviously the community and the country at large is thinking about them and we feel very, very sorry and maybe we can do some soul searching in the future about what we might be able to do to prevent things like this happening. >> dr. lisa van susteren, always good to have you here. thanks for your insight.

>> thank you. >> both president obama and mitt romney have softened their positions on gun restrictions over the years, but how likely are either one of them to raise gun control as a campaign issue? >> michael bloomberg said that this should be a topic for the campaign and that the candidates have an obligation not to deal in generalities were his words, but to be specific. i don't think you'll see any specifics. michael bloomberg also pointed out that president obama during the 2008 campaign said that he would reinstate the ban on assault weapons and there has been very little discussion and absolutely no executive action on that issue. >> as you mentioned, in the 2008 campaign, president obama was criticized for elitism after sounding dismissive of gun owners after he said something about clinging to guns and frustration. why is he not taking a stronger stance on gun control?

>> it's pure politics. this is terrible to say, but political calculation. the places where he needs to do well, swing states, ohio, pennsylvania, right here in virginia, there is a strong constituency that are pro second amendment feel they have a right to bear arms that, there shouldn't be any more restrictions, definitely not federal restrictions, let the states handle it and he's not going to get those voter, but he doesn't want to alienate them even more. the turnout will be larger. so he didn't mention it much in 2008. he hasn't mentioned it while he's president and i don't expect him to mention it when he's a candidate. >> okay. you talked about virginia, so let's stick with that. this is playing out on a state level as well. i want to talk about what george allen and also item cain have said in regards to guns, specifically the -- tim kaine have said in regards to guns,

specifically you can buy guns at gun shows without a background check. what are they saying now in light of all these tragedies? >> tim kaine has had a record of saying there should be background checks for gun shows. that is, what you go to a gun show, they have to do a background check rather than going to a local gun store. george allen doesn't favor that. tim kaine, the nra is going to support george allen and the national rifle association is a potent hobby. they are a potent political force with about 4 million members nationally. they identify who are nra members and get them to the polls and as a political force they are very much to be reckoned with and people of both parties, harry reid, democrat, majority leader is very much pro second amendment. russ feingold who was defeated in wisconsin rated the most liberal senator in the united states senate when he was there

was pro second ammendment and pro and anti for all practical purposes gun control. so even traditional establishment progressive left wing liberal democrats are very wary of being against the nra and in any way showing any flexibility on this issue. >> we'll have to leave it at that. fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin, thanks as always. >> thank you. still to come tonight penn state is taking steps to wash away any evidence of the school sex scandal, even removing a legend from campus. we'll explain. >> plus where in the world is michael jackson's mother? tonight some family members say catherine jackson is missing. the latest on that story and much more as we continue.

and exploded. you probably saw the video where it was taken to a remote area and exploded. the adjacent buildings here all around us, this is a densely populated area, those families returned last night, not without some trepidation because most of them have small children and the children had looks on their faces like hey, is it safe for us to be here? children are not supposed to deal with that type of a threat. >> who can blame them. ed when maureen mention that holmes nearly slipped away from police. >> reporter: that was interesting. i heard an officer say they thought he was a s.w.a.t. team member because of the way he was dressed head to toe in protective gear, bulletproof vest, leggings, gas mask and there was that kind of hey, is this guy one of the first responders or s.w.a.t. team? fortunately that did not happen and he was arrested without incident what we're told. of course, police are being very tight lipped about this investigation and very meticulous. we should learn more about this tomorrow morning when james
